Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Pharmacology

Hermann-Otto Handwerker mainly focuses on Nociceptor, Nociception, Stimulation, Free nerve ending and Anesthesia. His Nociceptor study combines topics in areas such as Capsaicin, Electrophysiology, Pharmacology and Anatomy. The Nociception study combines topics in areas such as Peripheral nervous system, Psychophysiology, Biophysics and Burning Pain.

He interconnects Receptive field, Sensory system, Chemoreceptor and Serotonin in the investigation of issues within Peripheral nervous system. As part of his studies on Anesthesia, Hermann-Otto Handwerker often connects relevant areas like Sensitization. He has included themes like Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Acidosis and Hyperalgesia in his Sensitization study.

His most cited work include:

  • Protons selectively induce lasting excitation and sensitization to mechanical stimulation of nociceptors in rat skin, in vitro (452 citations)
  • Chemosensitivity of fine afferents from rat skin in vitro (289 citations)
  • Response properties of thin myelinated (A-delta) fibers in human skin nerves. (288 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Hermann-Otto Handwerker spends much of his time researching Nociceptor, Neuroscience, Stimulation, Nociception and Anesthesia. His Nociceptor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Saphenous nerve, Capsaicin, Hyperalgesia and Sensitization. His study in the field of Afferent, Reflex, Summation and Midbrain also crosses realms of World Wide Web.

His Stimulation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Stimulus, Electrophysiology and Anatomy. His Nociception research integrates issues from Peripheral nervous system, Free nerve ending, Burning Sensation and Pain sensation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Mucous membrane of nose, Blood flow, Chronic pain and Pharmacology in addition to Anesthesia.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Nociceptor (44.68%)
  • Neuroscience (40.43%)
  • Stimulation (32.98%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1998-2015)?

  • Neuroscience (40.43%)
  • Nociceptor (44.68%)
  • Nociception (34.04%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Hermann-Otto Handwerker focuses on Neuroscience, Nociceptor, Nociception, Anatomy and Anesthesia. His work on Somatosensory system as part of general Neuroscience research is frequently linked to Representation, bridging the gap between disciplines. Nociceptor is frequently linked to Hyperalgesia in his study.

He combines subjects such as Nerve conduction velocity, Axon, Chronic pain and Membrane potential with his study of Nociception. His work carried out in the field of Anatomy brings together such families of science as Stimulus and Biophysics. The various areas that Hermann-Otto Handwerker examines in his Anesthesia study include Blood flow, Endocrinology, Stimulation, Internal medicine and Sensitization.

Between 1998 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Functional Attributes Discriminating Mechano-Insensitive and Mechano-Responsive C Nociceptors in Human Skin (239 citations)
  • Which nerve fibers mediate the axon reflex flare in human skin (230 citations)
  • Painful stimuli evoke itch in patients with chronic pruritus Central sensitization for itch (149 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Pharmacology

Neuroscience, Nociceptor, Human skin, Anatomy and Dermatology are his primary areas of study. His study in the fields of Peripheral nervous system, Nerve conduction velocity and Axon under the domain of Neuroscience overlaps with other disciplines such as Impulse. Hermann-Otto Handwerker merges Nociceptor with Microneurography in his study.

Many of his studies on Anatomy involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Stimulation. His study looks at the relationship between Stimulation and topics such as Somatosensory system, which overlap with Noxious stimulus. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Dermatology, focusing on Threshold of pain and, on occasion, Nociception.
